The 27th Annual Sandy Hook Lobsterfest was held on Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7. A total of 1,800 lobsters and more than 600 pounds of steak were served last weekend, according to LobsterFest Committee Chairman Anthony Capozziello. Guests also had the chance to purchase tickets each night, taking a chance on one of two 10-pound lobsters that were raffled. In addition, the company added a raffle of goods and services this year. Attendees could take their chance on more than 30 items and gift certificates that had been donated by local businesses. Proceeds from the event benefit the volunteer fire company, one of five that respond to Newtown’s homes, businesses and roadways during emergencies. (Hicks photo)
